Visited New Orleans for a 4 day girl's trip in October 2023 and it made me want to come back every year! Love this city- the architecture, the culture, the food, and the voodoo!

A little outside of the city, but so worth it. My girlfriends and I get Thai food on all of our girls' trips, and this was hands-down some of the best we've EVER had. No joke, we raved about it for the rest of our trip and considered returning before...

What girls trip would be complete without a wine night? This was a beautiful space to enjoy the outdoors. We went at night time, but I've heard its just as lovely during the day. The wine was fantastic, and so many choices to choose from.
